Dating scammer Yuliya

Other Comments:I am not sure if she is a scammer but correspondance with her matches every other letter on this site. I had hopes that she was for real until I stumbled on this site. Now I am laughing at what a dumbass I was it is truely comical. I met her on singles.net
Has anyone else seen her, I am positive she is a scammer but confirmation would be cool too.

Yea I've seen this one she's trying to snag me right now. Here is her latest letter to me.

Josh, I am very glad, that you do not forget me and answer on my
letters. We with each day become closer to each other. Today I have
risen with ideas on you. Today I had a day off. First half of day I
have lead at home. Then I visited the girlfriend with which we studied
together in institute. She has of the small child,she is the small,
beautiful girl. Her name Natasha and she 7 years old. She likes to
play with me, when I come. This year she was going to school. And me
to like to play with children too. I with children find something
general quickly and us interestingly together. I very much like
children. My friends and grandmother often speak, that I would be the
good mum. I would like to have happiness with you, as I think, that I
shall have happiness with you. This idea is very perfect for me. I
dream of caring of you and to bring pleasure in your life. I hope,
what you Josh have the same feels to me. Today in our cinema a new
Russian film and I with my friends will go on this film. I hope, that
you like my pictures, which I send to you. And I want to see of your
pictures more. I shall think of you. Yuliya.

Here is a little info about Russian dating scammers, gleaned from personal experince and research. If several or more of these criteria apply to your Boris (the beautiful Russian 'girl' that is supposedly writing to you), resist the temptation to help 'the poor girl' by sending her money. You're really writing to a sleazy guy sitting in a smoky room in Yoshtar Ola, Mari-El Republic with a bunch of other sleazy guys spamming indiscriminately on laptops .

If you post an advanced header from one of 'her' mails, we can confirm beyond doubt that 'she's' a scammer.

# 'girl' writes to you first on a dating site...especially a free one (or an email appears out of nowhere in your mailbox). Real Russian girls are rarely so bold as to write to you first. (unless you're obviously very attractive or rich :). Plus if they're looking for a partner, they generally prefer him to be Russian speaking and live in Russia. Much more convenient!
# girl's much too young for you (or too good to be true/looks like a model/porno star)....although I have noticed a recent tendency for some scammers to use photos of slightly 'less attractive' girls.
# girl has some far-fetched excuse for you not visiting her in Russia (criminal city, not the Russian custom, terrorism, etc). Actually, the normal way to meet a Russian girl is to visit her in her city first!
# scammers rarely have children, but all the real Russian women I've ever met on the internet did.
# photos are too revealing (can't be a respectable girl). Respectability is very important in Russia.
# most of the pics are old and a little bit faded with a curiously grainy quality that soon becomes easy to recognise (overuse?). A serious girl who's looking for a partner, would save up and go to a professional to have a photo set done, and/or borrow a digicam at least (dates should also be on the photos you receive). Russian girls aren't all that poor anymore.
# girl claims not to have a mobile phone. Very unlikely!!! for f***'s sake.....do you know a single girl without a mobile phone? Even poor Russian girls can't do without one, they're much cheaper than in Europe and a megafon telephone card doesn't cost that much either. You should be able to call her. On the other hand, not having a landline or a computer is quite common.
# very long rambling/ecstatic form letters with a strange format, punctation and layout written in scamlish. (world's worst Babelfish copy)
# writes everyday in English (how does she have time if she's working? + most Russians can hardly speak a word of English). Anyway, what's the point of finding a girl if you can't communicate with her, at least on a basic level?
# doesn't answer direct questions (sometimes factual mistakes in the letter)
# falls in 'love' very quickly. Don't let your ego or loneliness pull the wool over your eyes. You could be an axe murderer for all she knows.
# uses a proxy server to hide his/her location, ie a SOCKS server / GPRS Internet. if you can't trace 'her' IP, it's 100% scam. If she uses gmail, be suspicious too cos you won't be able to trace the IP. Hotmail and yahoo are acceptable if she'll chat with you on messenger, otherwise why does she have a non-cyrillic email account?

MOST IMPORTANT...if you get this far:
# wants money for a 'visa' and/or tickets, though IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SINGLE RUSSIAN GIRL TO GET A TOURIST VISA TO A WESTERN COUNTRY! She can get a sponsored visa with your help, but then she needs a personal letter of invitation from you, a copy of your passport, a proof of your residence in your home country, a completed sponsor's application form (also from you)....not including the documents that she has to fill in herself. All of these she has to drop off at your national embassy in Moscow WITH PREPAID TICKETS and wait 10 working days. These are the rules for Europe and the USA and Canada are almost as complicated. Anyway, a normal tourist visa + travel costs + hotel rooms would set her back 2000+ US dollars for a trip to the US. She should be asking you for a lot of money! Why should it be so easy for a gorgeous sexy girl just to jump on a plane and fall into bed with you? Be realistic.
NB...you should check your national embassy website in Moscow for visa prices and procedures.

There are a few scammers that are more patient and professional. There are even a few real girls scamming, and professional gold-diggers. One or two (mostly in the Ukraine) are not even afraid to use their true identities. These scammers are harder to spot.

But a ground rule is: if you are looking for a Russian wife, you must be prepared to travel to Russia to meet her. and if she turns out to be a professional gold-digger, which has never happened to me personally or anyone I know, you should try to be philosophical and treat it as an exotic trip to a foreign country, have fun anyway, and try not to waste too much money on her.

There are actually hundreds of perfectly nice Russian girls looking for partners, you just have to recognise them.

Josh, I am very glad, that you do not forget me and answer on my
letters. We with each day become closer to each other. Today I have
risen with ideas on you. Today I had a day off. First half of day I
have lead at home. Then I visited the girlfriend with which we studied

Josh

Here is where yulia says she lives Cheboksary which isn't Yoshkar-Ola right. Plus yulia doesn't answer simple questions like what was it like growing up in russia. Also I was checking out examples of russian scams and saw a letter very similiar to one I got with a few word changes but the body was basically the same, and whoever wrote the other letter that was the same had different pics.
